LumiNet takes the conventions of a central processing unit, such as an Arduino, handling most of the workload and spreads the responsibility across a series of parallel ‘LumiNet modules’ which only depend on the four modules directly connected to it. This way, if one module goes bad, the rest of the wearable network will stay up and running. It’s programming by infection. Each LumiNet module measures 1.2? square and contains an RGB LED, an ATTiny84 and connectors to its neighboring... Continue reading

In fact, you’ll probably wind up doing both at once if you really want to finish this jacket in record time.

Luckily, there’s the Xip3, a shirt that turns into a backpack and a pillow when you need it. Equipped with Polartec 200 lining, it’s a pretty ideal shirt for rough conditions in nature.

Shown as part of the Tissue Culture and Art Project at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York, this new Victimless Leather shows that animals don’t need to be harvested for textiles, but they are still equally tasty if I might say so myself.
